England vs Pakistan | 5th ODI | Leeds | May 19th, 2019 | England innings

Worst 10 overs of bowling I have seen by a pak team for a very very long time

England have not played a single shot in anger
 
When things are going this badly you usually see the seniors giving the young bowlers advice and support. But Hafeez and Malik are no where to be seen.

We keep misfielding and serving up pies and no one seems to be doing anything about it.
 
Got to find those people who asked people to follow tamsha t20 cricket when we wanted our team to bat more than 4 runs per over.
 
Is there any slope at renovated Headingley? I mean, why everyone is slunting it down the leg and obviously Captain dynamic has kept his fine leg in inner circle .........
 
Hasnain is a good talent but he's extremely raw and lacks discipline and consistency, plus he's bowling to arguably the most destructive batting lineup in the world on their home turf. He has a long way to go, I have high hopes from him, but selecting him at this stage of his career was always going to be a gamble.

Exactly what happened to their so called valuable experience ?
 
Also we shouldn’t even be celebrating Vince’s wicket he isn’t even in their starting eleven he’s just here cause Alex bhai wanted to do a sooota too much so England are still 0 wickets down
 
Happy to see Shaheen back bowlign with a purpose . . he needed a kick up his backside . . and bowling quicker than Hasnain as I have been saying . .

Hasnain . . I honestly . . for hte life of me . . fail to see the hype . . he isn't even taht quick guys . . He is in the 87 88 range . . He has shown nothing so far to show that he is ready for international cricket
 
These guys don't have any idea what to do. The captain, bowlers and management completely clueless. Complete disaster.
 
Looks lie England will score 500+ today. Our bowling doesn't have any clue.
 
Don't be surprised if that's the next thread.

:)

But, on a serious note - they should have played him that AUS Series as Captain and specialist bat at No. 5. That was my point at the squad announcement. If he is to bat at 5 in WC, he must think himself to be a middle order batsman first, rather than WK batsman.
 
Remember when posters said Babar is better than Root. :))

Root can up the gears when the situation demands it as evident from his innings in the last WT20 against SA in that successful 230-240 run chase where he was scoring around 200 SR.

Babar Azam can only dream of playing such an innings.
 
Don't worry. This is just the build-up to the historic run chase from Pakistan. 441 will be chased down.
 
People think Root plays like Babar.

Not surprised at fans.

He needed rest apparently.

Root is also a much better player of spin and rotates the strike much better.
 
Pakistan look mentally done, really bad start from them.
 
Bairstow gone. Lol England players at times have over attacked and thrown away the chances to get big scores.
 
As i said, this match is about wickets, not about containing. Sarfraz defensive tactics aren’t suitable here.
 
Just get the wickets before they get to 350 in 30 odd overs.. bowl them out.
 
Spinners who can't spin the ball. Fast bowlers who have no idea where they are bowling it. Fielders who may as well be back in bed and a captain who is as clueless and uninspiring as they get at this level.

And people still blame the batting for our losing streak in ODIs.
 
Why are people even surprised like England are number one we’re like number 7 that’s like France playing Cameroon in fifa world cup
 
Absolutely - he’s 2 levels above Babar.

Come on, Babar and Root are on the same level. Babar just needs better team mates and he needs to stop being selfish at times. You’re being too harsh on him.
